editing suduers

[rawandnet]

Hi All,

I am using sudoers to enalble user to run a specific command.

Cmnd_Alias MYCMNDS=/usr/sbin/useradd, /usr/sbin/userdel
john ALL=MYCMNDS

john ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL


every time I want to run the command as john I have to type sudo command. Is there a way to type the command only without sudo, just like root user.

thanks

You have to use sudo to run root commands.

A workaround would be to use an alias. For example:

alias useradd='sudo /usr/sbin/useradd'

Add this to your .bashrc file, and log out/in again. Then useradd will run without the sudo command. Do something similar for userdel.

thank you, that is a good approach. this is my first time using this forum i don't know how to give you quot?

If you wish to run commands without typing sudo, have you considered simple obraining a root shell ?

sudo -i

At least that has been my approach when I wish to enter more then a single command as root.
